Burnerd ec collets…dismantling

[Mark Davison 1Participant @markdavison1]

I'm pretty sure I dismantled all of mine without removing the ring off any of them. The springs come out easily enough with long nose pliers and a slim flat blade screw driver.

Thanks all, I might investigate those ideas.

Unfortunately, the reason I'm asking is because I bought a set of these on ebay (for a considerable amount of money), listed as excellent condition which are, of course, covered in corrosion on the outside of the blades. I wonder if there's any point in doing anything since I don't know of a way of treating the corrosion that wouldn't ruin the accuracy of the collets, which is their entire point.

Why do I never learn not to trust people on ebay?!

If you've only just bought them then raise a dispute ASAP. Excellent is a pretty strong word to use, if it said good then its going to be subjective, but excellent doesnt leave them much room. Either get refund or a discount. Its tool steel so rust will pit the surface, although if it is light you'll probably be OK if you chose to opt for discount and some evaporust.

Dog, if the item was incorrectly described raise a dispute, as for rust prevention do a forum or Google search and there will be thousands of answers to a perennial question.
